Oscilloscope default pre-trigger window position

[japlytic]

On LeCroy oscilloscopes, the default pre-trigger viewing window is one horizontal division from the left while Tektronix (and a number of Chinese manufacturers including Hantek) has a default pre-trigger viewing window is the left half of horizontal divisions from the centre.

For most of the time, I seem to prefer a pre-trigger viewing window of one horizontal division from the left rather than the left half of horizontal divisions from the centre.

Re: Oscilloscope default pre-trigger window position

it's down to what your viewing i suspect.

if your looking for something rare like a glitch, the center area is best,
but for a repeating waveform starting on the left will give you more to see.
